Things to remember when volunteering at Special Cheers

Special Cheers is an occupational therapy center serving children and young adults with learning differences and special needs. It is important to keep calm and have a composed demeanor when around the children and horses. Any questions regarding therapy should be addressed to the therapist on staff. We advise volunteers to dress appropriately, including closed toe shoes. We recommend long pants and long sleeves when working on the trails, but ultimately leave it the volunteer’s discretion to dress according to Houston weather.
